Factory

Norwich, CT

The factory pictured here was once the largest employer in Norwich. They produced a particular consumer item here from 1913 up until 1984, when operations were moved to Illinois. The items are still produced today and a hint to the product can be found by close examination of the brickwork in this building. That's all the hints I'll give. I leave it up to my followers to guess what was produced here. Feel free to venture a guess in the comments section. Thanks for looking!

You're absolutely correct, Jeff. Jack was close with a bottling plant, however. A Thermos really is a vacuum bottle. I'm not sure what the plant is being used for now. I haven't found a way to get down closer to the facility. Thanks for playing along!

About Me

I'm a husband for 42 plus years now to my lovely wife, Michele and the very proud father of Jen and Mary. More recently, I'm now a grandfather to Colin and Clara! I'm employed as a chemist at Forma Therapeutics, trying to find the next greatest drug to treat cancer. In my spare time I enjoy digital photography, doing just about anything with my Macintosh computers and singing barbershop harmony. I enjoy the outdoors, a good baseball game, and Notre Dame Football.
